Encrypting Attachments

On this screen, you can choose to encrypt all attachments in your Jira instance, or you can only encrypt the attachments in selected projects. 

To encrypt all attachments select the toggle.

To encrypt attachments in selected projects, select the projects field and select the check boxes for all the projects you wish to encrypt. You can use the search to find the projects you want.

Select Save and continue.
